GW4 Climate Resilience Workshop
|
|
The GW4 Climate Resilience Workshop held earlier this month brought together researchers from across the Alliance to explore how collaborative research can build on our region’s strengths to deliver the step change necessary within this broad research area.
Each university showcased the breadth and depth of climate related research undertaken at their institution and breakout discussions between academics explored how interdisciplinary collaboration between GW4 could help tackle major research questions while identifying what resources and partner collaborations might be required.
Several key themes and initial ideas emerged from the workshop discussions, which we will support and develop in order to achieve our ambition.
